As you will undoubtedly know by now, T-Mobile is going to be taking part in one of the biggest wireless spectrum auctions America has ever seen. The 600MHz incentive auction is due to kick off next year and as things stand, the two biggest carriers look likely to swoop up the majority of the spectrum. As they did in the AWS-3 spectrum auction last year. While AT&T and Verizon are lobbying hard to … [read full article]

T-Mobile has announced a new deal just in time for summer. Matching a promotion it launched a few weeks ago, T-Mo is yet again offering a free memory boost for new and existing customers looking to buy the Galaxy S6 or S6 Edge. Be warned, this is a very short term deal. It starts on Wednesday, June … [read full article]

Since reinventing itself with the launch of the first generation Moto X a couple of years ago, Motorola has become one of the favorite Android OEMs among tech aficionados. It offers hardware customizability like none other, and sells possibly the best Nexus device we’ve seen since the original Nexus One. And – until tomorrow, June 23rd – you can save on some of the company’s best products. Until 10:59am Central Time tomorrow, you … [read full article]

T-Mobile’s working hard to change its reputation for rolling out software updates late. At least, it is with the Samsung Galaxy device range. The latest device on the fine magenta carrier to get Android 5.1.1 is last year’s divisive Galaxy S5. From today, T-Mobile customers rocking the “Band Aid phone” will be able to download and install the latest public Android version. T-Mo is yet to update the phone’s support page … [read full article]

Some of you may be aware already that T-Mobile – as part of its network modernization process – is shutting down its AWS HSPA+ network in a number of markets this year. As it builds out its LTE network, T-Mo wants to recycle its older network technology. This move has actually been planned for some time now, but there are some pretty big markets having their AWS 1700/2100 4G/3G (U2100) networks shut-down now, … [read full article]

Earlier today I read an article over at Seeking Alpha, written by a research analyst and author named Brian Nichols. In it he argues that Dish and T-Mobile need each other. And after reading, I’m hard pushed to find a strong argument against it. It highlights something we’ve known for a long time. But, like anyone not wanting to admit to any kind of defeat, we convince ourselves that “it’ll … [read full article]

T-Mobile sells some of the best – and most expensive phones – on the market. But perhaps what’s surprising is that there are a bunch of affordable phones on the market that can (almost) give those devices a run for their money. And they’re not available on T-Mobile’s store shelves. While that means that they don’t come with services like Wi-Fi Calling baked in, it does mean that they’re factory unlocked and free … [read full article]

According to a report on Bloomberg, the FCC is likely to reject the request made by T-Mobile to reserve more spectrum for smaller carriers/companies and next year’s incentive auction. “Federal Communications Commission Chairman Tom Wheeler will recommend the agency deny T-Mobile’s request, according to two people familiar with briefings agency officials have given industry representatives. They spoke on condition of anonymity because the meetings weren’t public.” Last year, T-Mobile – … [read full article]

It seems an age has passed since Microsoft announced the 640 and 640 XL at MWC in Barcelona. But at long last, the phone is available to buy from T-Mobile. It’s good timing too, since it just about fits in to the carrier’s promise of releasing it “later this Spring”. The phone can be yours for $129.84 full retail price, or … [read full article]

UPDATE – Comcast has denied these rumors according to Reuters. Looks like we dodged a bullet there. Batman will not be working for Falcone. If you could list all the U.S. companies you’d least like to end up buying or merging with T-Mobile, I’m pretty sure Comcast would be right up there with the likes of Verizon and AT&T. Sadly though, rumors from supposedly reputable sources in Germany – according … [read full article]
